How a video game project evolved into a real satellite
In short: Explore how Matt Reid transitioned from the digital physics of Kerbal Space Program to engineering a functional QubeSat, a feat that earned him a place as a finalist in the Google Global Science Fair.
This video examines the journey of Matt Reid, who moved from simulating spaceflight in Kerbal Space Program to constructing a working QubeSat for a science project. He earned a spot among 20 finalists during the Google Global Science Fair for this accomplishment. To encourage others to follow this path, Reid has made the plans and code required to build a similar satellite publicly available.
